How is the cost of living in your country?

[Dragonfund]

Right now, to have access to cash is very hard because of the redesign of our currency and I can tell you that things have double eif not tripple over the past months, since the change of governments, I don't think we have had any government worse than this because with your money, you cannot use it as governments is trying to force people to use CBDC and cashless policy  and it is not all sellers that accept digital payments, they prefer cash over cahshless policy. It is the common man that suffers this their nonsense, only grace of God can help us now with the way things are going.

Actually now the straight answer can not be given because even in my country is not all place I can afford to live but still the cost of living in my country is affordable. My main reason is that petrol per litre up to now it not up $1 and am seeing someone is saying their own is above $2, in times of food even though we are all shouting about the price that is getting higher, a bag of rice now is about $50 before it not up to this amount that what is causing shouting. For rent of apartments depend on the location you want to live and also depend on your financial status, the least you can get is around $50-$60 this depends on my location. I am living in a small town.

I am a 32 year old male living in Australia.

Today I purchased some fresh fruit, a loaf of good bread, good quality milk and 2kg of chicken drumsticks for my German Shepherd (he eats human food only) and the cost was close to $50.

I feel this is the first time in my adult life I have genuinely noticed the rising cost of goods and services especially groceries.

Petrol is over $2.10 a litre and my water and electricity bills have also increased by about 15%.

This is a very feasible solution to the problem of countries everywhere. Yes, the Government must find a way to address this problem to ensure that every citizen can earn enough income to feed themselves and their families and no one goes hungry in the country. One of the prevention efforts is to reduce inflation by clearing excess money in the market.

Cost of living in every countries is as the simple saying that quotes, cut your coat according to your size, there's difference in standard of living in each of the countries we have and we have how individuals also were able to manage their expenditures, cut cost and prioritize their needs from things they want, some people don't know how to manage up resources they have to yield them more of its kind, if you can be trusted with little, then there's no doubt you can manage the big one if entrusted in your care and same way it applies to a living standard.

I live in a small town that most of the residents' search is fishermen and farmers, I work in a ceramic factory and get a salary of around $ 450 per month, if a lot of overtime can get around $ 550, economic conditions affect the ceramic factory because many products are not sold, the cost of living Monthly I am a room rental of about $ 300 so I can still save about $ 100 per month, of course the small value and I hope Crypto will skyrocket again.

The elimination of cash has been thought of by many countries because we are moving towards a modern world, and another reason is that they want more control over us. But confusing for your Nigerian government, they were in such a hurry to issue a cashless order, and using only CBDCs gave people no time to adapt. I'm not from your country, but I've seen a lot of people's protests over cash shortages. It's horrible that the country is run by stupid politicians.

In my nation you could give your pets to pounds, it's a place basically where dogs and cats live with each other, and they are unfortunately put to sleep if nobody adopts them after a while, specially as soon as they show a sign of sickness, because they do not want to take care of any sick pets, but many young ones do get adopted.

I wouldn't even bare to cross that in my mind, I haven't been sleeping at nights for over a month because my dog is sick, my wife sleeps at night, I sleep during the day, and we take care of our dog in shifts this way, so the idea of not taking care of the dog and giving it up to a pound is beyond bonkers to me, but I guess some people do it.

A bag of rice is $50? that was overpriced! Well there are things that overprice here in our country also that is onion which is  $11 per kilo which is very huge but I do see now that it is dropping but those basic foods like rice are still the same on us around $37 which still pretty expensive comparing before but again it is still high. If the petrol drop price I am hoping that foods prices also drop too as all of the people here are struggling except those rich ones

The toxic in the cost of living increases in my country per every change of Government. The previous government is always worst than the incumbent, and as a result the cost of leaving becomes a crying shame. Now the price of everything has skyrocketed in a triple fold since the new government began and it's always so difficult to have a deflation after every inflation since 60% of the people coming into government are with selfish aim and not for the benefit of the Nation.

Throughout when I was working in the metropolitan area in my country, the cost of living there was too much for my salary to handle and thankfully I live in a provincial area wherein it is more worth it to just transport your way home rather than relocate there since the cost of apartment there was like twice on how much I pay for my expenses back and forth monthly. Not really worth it in my end.

I feel bad for some of my colleagues that just tends to keep it that way. They even mentioned that it would be cheaper to buy a cooked food rather than cooking your own food there.

I really feel bad for the elderly pensioners in this country. They are definitely struggling.

I would be curious to read of the experiences others around the world are having in regards to their cost of living.

By the way I am living in an Asian subcontinent and as we all know that in Asia there is Less (PPP) "Means People Purchasing Power"
And In my country grocery rates are as followed.

1. Meat= 2.2 Dollars All Time high Never before
2. Rice= 1 Dollar
3. Petrol= 0.8 Dollars
4. Honda Civic= 28000 Dollars 🤣
5. Wheat= 0.4 Dollars
5. Normal Fruit Rate= 0.6 Dollars

As we all know that inflation as high in all countries and we are also facing such huge problems. And I think that we should control inflation unless it will silent kill us All.

Without making price details for all the items you buy, there is no conclusion whether your country is much more expensive compared to the country where I live regarding these groceries, thus resulting in increased chaos among the lower middle-income community.

I feel this is the first time in my adult life I have genuinely noticed the rising cost of goods and services especially groceries.

It can be said that almost all countries have experienced a surge in the prices of goods and services and especially in the food sector, the impact of the economic recovery caused by Covid-19 has really affected the adjustment conditions between people's income and spending, while the basic needs for the food sector have continued to rise and on the other hand the minimum wage for workers in all employment sectors has never experienced an increase after the impact of Covid-19 hit.

This chaos makes it even more difficult for people to get out of the economic crush, because there is no adjustment between income and expenditure. Not to mention talking about health costs, children's education, gasoline, water and electricity, which in the end results in a mess of problems faced by society, especially for those with middle to lower incomes.

I really feel bad for the elderly pensioners in this country. They are definitely struggling.

There are several methods that can be applied by anyone.

1. Start preparing savings for old age by doing it regularly, even if little by little.
2. Invest according to income ability.
3. Trying to grow food sources in the yard of the house or in vacant land, such as vegetables and other needs.

We must adapt to any conditions and circumstances, because it is impossible for circumstances to adapt to us, without any planning, our future life will be much more difficult.

[Husires]

I live in a developing country, as $600 is sufficient for you if you do not have to pay electricity and water expenses, meaning that you live with your family, but for a single person and with house costs and others, you need about $2000, and the amount will increase if you have a wife and children.
It is true that it does not seem like a large amount compared to some countries, but the average salary ranges from 1500 to 2000 dollars, meaning that it is difficult to save large sums of money if you have a wife and children.

I would be curious to read of the experiences others around the world are having in regards to their cost of living.

Living expenses went through the roof over the last 12 months. While energy prices stabilised again in Germany, we pay around 1.80 euro per liter, everything that is related to food is going on price every few weeks without any end in sight. The elderly people are hit hard from the crisis because their pension is not being adjusted for inflation, but families with young children are even worse off. Fresh products are especially getting more expensive, making it harder to ensure a nitrous diet for our children. Almost all my friends with children are buying lower quality products for themselves to have enough money to buy fresh fruits and vegetables for the children. Many fresh products in the supermarket jumped 50-100% up in price in less than 6 months. If this trend continues it's going to be a terrible year. The main problem is that wages are taking so get adjusted for inflation and there isn't much help from the government.

Many businesses are firing their staff or they are shutting their operations.
the survival is way too difficult and things are not easy in my country.

I think everyone has recently felt the rise in prices for consumer goods,in my country everything has risen by 25-30 percent and I don’t see a downward trend in the near future. I began to spend less money on leisure and began to save more,I also carefully look at the price of goods before buying them.

[Mario Yamasaki]

Currently I live in the city and have to rent a room because my house is far from work, it takes at least 3 hours of train travel so if I don't rent a place to live I will often be late and of course the transportation costs are expensive, I rent a room measuring 2x3 meters and a bathroom general and if in total it took about $350. the cost of living continues to rise as annual inflation is usually around 5%.

I just imagine before that we used to go to grocery without minding the price as we are sure that the price is the same but right now we always check the price as it keeps increasing and our grocery budget are not enough , you need to cut other spending if you want to make your budget enough . I am just more worried right now those minimum wage earner or under how they can survive this as it is getting difficult day by day.

Indeed,I used to go to a store with a list and pick up goods almost without looking at the price tags.Now you have to choose and compare in order to save at least a little. And I also worry about the old people,because they don’t always have enough money and they have to deny themselves a lot.I try to help my family as much as possible.
